Search Box

Hi there
Maybe I missed something in the install, but how do I get the search box on my page so it can work, I don't no how to start it all off...I did all the install instructions, all worked well, but no I just cant figure out how I can display this search form on my site,

Anyone?

Thanks a bunch
Elaine

ok I got the code for the form, all is good but everytime I try and search something it gives me this error:

Error 404 - Not found

Your browser can't find the document corresponding to the URL you typed in.

I indexed my main site and it looks all good in there, I maybe didn't change something in the files I should have? I don't no, im confused

ok I got all the paths correct now, and now it has the result box that comes up but it never finds anything, and I made sure I typed in a word that was in the document that I put in there, does it find single words in the documents?

I logged in the admin tool,
hit index tab
typed my main page
clicked on FULL
then start indexing and then this error
